Switcher with TiVo will be fun, there's bugs in the current software which cause it to bring up a hdmi warning box a lot if the hdmi connection is "broken".

I'd get the 13". I have both a 15" and 13" and find the 13" is still "too big" to cart about with me..... When I was getting the 13" I was tempted by the air, but at the time I wasn't too hot about the processor specs and didn't like the fact that the illuminated keyboard had been removed. A...

+ it'll retain resale value. My ancient powerbook still commands a decent second hand value considering its age.

Yes. Be careful with boxing in the TiVo unit, it would appear that a lot of the hardware problems (resets, lock ups, dead...) people are having are due to the units getting too hot.

Like I said, I never used reminders for anything other than live stuff, that's where they were useful. Set a reminder for when the programme starts and then go off and watch something else safe in the knowledge that if you get engrossed in it, you'll be reminded when the live event is about to...

Nope. Why do you need it when you've got 3 tuners. Don't you know that people with PVR's never want to watch things live! (That's virgins take on it)

I never use them either, but I can understand why some people use (and now miss) them and why this is such a cause for complaint. (That and the fact that TiVo was advertised as doing everything that the V+ HD box did......)

The problem with that is that the moment you record something, you're giving it the equivalent of a "thumbs up", which means that it's then used for future suggestions, this may not be what you want, I *may* have wanted to watch something once, but it may not be a programme or genre that I'm...

Red button - is coming. Timed reminders - umm...virgin say "why bother when you've bot 3 tuners", so undecided if they'll ever implement this. Parental Controls - slightly broken in this release, but you won't ever be able to turn them off, virgin have stated this. It's to do with Ofcom...

No, you can pad them individually if you want (*need) to, but because there's no global default, you can't say "I always want an extra 5 minutes at the start and end". As a result of this, you basically cannot record anything from BBC channels (without manually adding the padding) because the...

It is painfully slow through some of the menus, especially on demand content. It's also a pain in the ass to find anything in on demand because it's all grouped by day, would be nice for options to group by station or category etc. The menus aren't that logical either. That said, we've got 2...

If anybody is thinking of doing any app development, I wouldn't start work on any new developments that didn't specifically target iOS5 (pay for a developer account), there are some changes to the development workflow that make developing iOS5 applications much nicer than previous iOS versions.

All build to orders are shipped directly from the factory in China.....unless you cannot avoid it (MBA memory etc) then never buy anything other than a "base model" because it takes ages to get here!

Your Skype account has almost certainly been terminated for beach of terms and conditions. You can get this when you have multiple active Skype sessions from a single IP address (think, a few iPhones all running Skype). We've had this before, contacted support only to get the following...

Not possible on a non-jailbroken phone.

It's only there in snow leopard or lion, you running something older on the Macbook?

This, it's on the context menu when you right click an image. "Set as desktop wallpaper" down the bottom of the menu.

50/50 split for 100% of the effort? As revels said, you need a freelancer and a decent freelancer will either charge you the appropriate rate or will want a much better percentage to entertain it. And appincubator....

Hp have just killed off their tablet and effectively killed web os.

Those are in the application bundle, you need the settings in the user library folder, it'll probably be called something like com.rovio.angrybirds.plist or something!

The problems with forums like that is that they tend to be places that people go to when they have trouble. If they're not having trouble, then they simply wouldn't visit. This slightly skews how you might perceive the forum, you might see it as being full of people complaining, but there very...

Assuming it stores the game data in a plist file, you could create a folder that is read & writeable from both user accounts, copy the plist to that folder, delete the plist from both accounts and then create a symlink in the original location on both accounts to the shared plist file. That...

TiVo will cut off the end off the programme you're recording so you'll be left wondering how stuff ended! ;) There are a whole load of problems with TiVo at the moment, I'm sure they'll get sorted, but virgin seem obsessed with secrecy about what will be fixed and when. The missing the end off...

Pixelmator if you have a mac, it's full of awesomeness.

You can't do that stuff unless you have a jailbroken phone. iOS specifically sandboxes applications away from sensitive information. However, the built in phone application shows the duration & time of incoming and outgoing calls, go into recents in the phone app and then click on the arrow...

I've seen this before where there are a lot of other wireless networks around, changing the channel to a less congested one has solved this for me in the past. iPhone has a small antenna so it may be that your network is being swamped as far as it is concerned.

On a mac it's Preferences/Network/[The Network Interface In Question]/Advanced/TCPIP and then set "Configure IPV6" to Off. Windows, I can't remember, I try to avoid using it. And the printer, well, it might have a screen on it or an web configuration page (in which case connect it via cable...

If I come across problems like this, I usually disable ipv6 (on the printer and on OS X & Windows) and problems like this normally end up going away.

Dumb question, but your clock is set correctly isn't it?

Eh? No idea what you're talking about there. The new gestures are in addition to the two fingered scrolling and make common things fast to access. Can you be more specific as to why you don't like them? Pass. Are you referring to "using" the scrollbar or it "drawing" when you talk...
